SAN Francisco, June 30-George
Weeks Baker, one of the indicted Ben.
son land surveyors. has instituted two
suits against the Government. The
complaints were filed in the United
States Circuit Court to-day, and in all
Baker wishes to obtain SIC, 200 on CON
tracts performed by him. One contract
was awarded in July, 1882. and covers
work on fourteen townships in Southern
California. the sum due being $4663. and
which Surveyor General Brewn has
approved. The other claim is for sur-
veying six townships scattered over the
State, the contract having been awarded
September %, 1884 Baker accuses
General Land Commissioner Sparks
of refusing arbitrarily and illegal
ly to pay the bills, though
they were stated to be correct by Sur
veyor-General Brown, aud alleges that
Sparks knows they are correct. He also
renews his charge that Commissioner
Sparks used corrupt means, employing
the following lang aage: Sparks. by the
corrupt and unlawful use of money has
appropriated the payments for surveys
and by intimidation, bribery and other
unlawful means procured the indictment
of plaintiff on alleged charges of con-
spiracy and perjury, falsely alleging in
said indictments that in the surveys
made by said Baker and Field the nOtes
thereof are false and fictitious, when in
truth and in fact they and all thereof are
executed in exact accordance with his
contracts"
